Keenum floats one to Rudolph

It was the opening drive of the game that gave Minnesota the first highlight of the game and the first scoring play as well.

After pounding the ball using a combination of Jerick McKinnon and Latavius Murray to tighten up the Eagles defense, Minnesota caught the Philadelphia defense playing a little too tight to the line of scrimmage.

Case Keenum took a snap from near the 25-yard line out of the shotgun formation. Tight end Kyle Rudolph used his speed and size to get the advantage over the Eagles defender, creating enough separation to get an easy catch.

This play gave the Vikings an early 7-0 lead gave Minnesota fans hope that the team could maneuver offensively against the Eagles.
